These terms and conditions further apply to any other venue where New 42 is in residence or operating a ticketed program or event.

A ticket is not redeemable for cash. No tickets to an event may be resold within 500 feet from the physical structure of the venue where such event is being presented under penalty of law. The unlawful sale or resale or attempted unlawful sale or resale of a ticket is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be invalid, lost, stolen or counterfeit and, if so, are void. Unauthorized use or duplication of a ticket, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.

Revocable License/Venue May Refuse Admission

Each ticket is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the purchase price appearing thereon.

Recording of the Event Prohibited

The Holder of a Ticket agrees not to transmit or aid in transmitting any description, account, picture or reproduction of all or any part of any event in any venue whether in person or online. Breach of the foregoing will automatically terminate the license under each ticket held by such holder.
